a lot of this depends upon your audience.
for example, quite a few of my projects recently have been for some major banks in Canada....a few internal UI designs etc. some internal portal work as well...
90% of these people are using older, smaller monitors, and are also definitely using ie6.....and are unlikely to be upgrading any time soon.....these sort of things are a big factor in the layout and design.
and you better believe the fold is important to these folks....on the other hand, different demographics will have different use cases, so to speak, and the fold will either matter more or less depending on what the site is for etc...
i personally like the idea of ignoring the fold as much as humanly possible....but professionally i know that certain gigs need 'special handling'....
